The case for a multi-channel polarization sensitive LIDAR for investigation of insolation-driven ices and atmospheres

Adrian J. Brown, Gorden Videen, Evgenij Zubko +20

All LIDAR instruments are not the same, and advancement of LIDAR technology requires an ongoing interest and demand from the community to foster further development of the required…

Crater mound formation by wind erosion on Mars

Liam J. Steele, Edwin S. Kite, Timothy I. Michaels

Most of Mars' ancient sedimentary rocks by volume are in wind-eroded sedimentary mounds, but the connections between mound form and wind erosion are unclear. We perform mesoscale s…

Detection and Quantification of Volatiles at Mars using a multispectral LIDAR

Adrian J. Brown, Timothy Michaels, Lori Fenton +14

We present a concept for using a polarization sensitive multispectral lidar to map the seasonal distribution and exchange of volatiles among the reservoirs of the Martian surface a…

The science case for a modern, multi-wavelength, polarization-sensitive LIDAR in orbit around Mars

Adrian J. Brown, Timothy I. Michaels, Shane Byrne +5

We present the scientific case to build a multiple-wavelength, active, near-infrared (NIR) instrument to measure the reflected intensity and polarization characteristics of backsca…

A 3D general circulation model for Pluto and Triton with fixed volatile abundance and simplified surface forcing

Angela Zalucha, Timothy Michaels

We present a 3D general circulation model of Pluto and Triton's atmospheres, which uses radiative-conductive-convective forcing. In both the Pluto and Triton models, an easterly (p…

An investigation of a super-Earth exoplanet with a greenhouse-gas atmosphere using a general circulation model

Angela M. Zalucha, Timothy I. Michaels, Nikku Madhusudhan

We use the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (GCM) dynamical core, in conjunction with a Newtonian relaxation scheme that relaxes to a gray, analytica…
